Case Study - Secondary Medicare Claims
Staying in Compliance Without Upgrading Your Practice Management System Medicare requires that secondary claims be sent electronically but many practice management systems can only produce a print image. Clients also have problems submitting secondary claims via the HCFA 1500 format because they do not provide enough informational fields for all the required secondary payer data. This case study explains ECP's solution that saves our clients from having to upgrade their practice management systems to stay in compliance with Medicare.
EDI Enrollment
ECP assists all new clients in getting their EDI enrollment set up for Medicare, therefore we urge providers to delete old practice locations from their enrollment. Contact Brigott Elkins belkins@4ecp.com or (800) 327-1213 for more information.
Electronic Eligibility Verification
Electronic Eligibility Verification (EEV) is now available to our clients. EEV saves time and money by ensuring that a patient has coverage before service is rendered. Verifying a patient’s eligibility provides you cleaner claims and faster reimbursement. Traditional eligibility verification by phone is too time consuming and does not provide a paper trail for providers. Electronic Eligibility Verification provides the necessary paper trail, while leaving your phone lines and office staff available for patients. Contact Brigott Elkins belkins@4ecp.com or (800) 327-1213 for more information.

Costs are definitely cut down with electronic billing. Both insurance companies and the government would like to see all claims sent electronically. If Minnesota is effective with instituting the electronic mandate, you can be sure that other states will follow. It is just a matter of time.
